Glasgow schools term times 2023/2024: All of this year’s school holiday dates

As the summer holidays draw to an end, it is almost time for pupils to head back to school across Glasgow but it won’t be long before they are off again for the September weekend.

Time passes very quickly with it seeming like only a couple of weeks ago that primary schools and high schools in Glasgow stopped for the summer holidays, and if time continues to pass so quickly, it’s best to get prepared and have these key dates noted down.
